Free State Project

The Free State Project (FSP) is a libertarian-leaning group seeking to persuade pro-freedom people to move to New Hampshire in order to concentrate their numbers in one relatively small U.S. state, in order to make it more politically free.

The project arose based on a term paper written by Jason Sorens, which discussed the political prospects for a minority political movement to achieve some level of political success on this basis.

The Free State Project has met its initial goal of 20,000 people pledging to move to New Hampshire; several thousand people have actually moved to the state who consider themselves FSP members.

The group holds two major events each year, the New Hamphire Liberty Forum in February, and the Porcupine Freedom Festival or PorcFest in June.
